New computer
« on: June 19, 2016, 01:20:34 PM »
I have the sims 3 and the sims 4, and for the sims 3 I have all the expansion packs. The only laptop i have ever owned is my toshiba satellite from about 2007. I can barely get through create a sim without it crashing. I have a budget of about $1000. I know that a desktop would be the best route but I want a laptop because i would also like to take it to my college classes. I understand the requirements of the games but would like opinions on which laptop which would be best to run the sims 3 with all expansions. So my budget is around $1000 and if possible i would prefer touchscreen capabilities. Thank you in advance!
